Movie studios have been testing movies on YouTube like this for a while now, but it hasn't really had much of an impact for YouTube or the studios. (So far the clip, uploaded on August 23 by SonyPicturesUK, has 310 views.)

Our favorite part is the description: "The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son." You know, just in case you were unfamiliar with the flick.

Here's the full movie in case you have two hours, 57 minutes, and nine seconds to spare.
